General Chat

A trial to be held in camera. Why should it be in secret, because of who they are.

Looks like the Virgin article is a cut and paste from the BBC website or an official Press release from Buck House.

Oh Christine I wish I still had the book about Elizabeth, Bertie and Dave. Unfortunately, after I read it (third hand) I sold it in my shop. One of the very few biographies I haven't kept.

This is on Virgin news


'Royal sex and drugs blackmail plot' probed

Buckingham Palace is refusing to comment on newspaper reports of a "sex and drugs" blackmail plot against a Royal Family member.

The Sunday Times has reported that Scotland Yard were contacted after the alleged blackmailers threatened to go public with a video they claimed shows the royal engaged in a sex act.

The paper has not named the royal in question for legal reasons.

A demand of £50,000 was put forward but a police sting ensured that the video was seized and the men arrested.

The paper said that the alleged blackmailers first contacted the Royal Household on August 2. One of the men claimed to have evidence suggesting that a royal aide had an envelope containing cocaine that had been supplied by a royal.

It was also alleged during the conversation that a video tape showing the aide giving someone oral sex existed. The recipient of the sex act was indicated to be the royal.

The caller then left his mobile phone number and asked for the royal to phone them back.

The Sunday Times source told the newspaper that a senior legal adviser to the royal agreed with the blackmailers that he would see the tape before handing over the cash.

In the meantime the Metropolitan Police had been asked to intervene.

Posing as an aide, an undercover detective contacted the blackmailers and arranged a rendezvous at the London Hilton in Park Lane.

The meeting was filmed secretly by officers in an adjacent room. Parts of the video were shown before detectives stepped in, seized the tape and arrested the two men, the paper said.

In a statement, Scotland Yard said: " A 30-year-old man and 40-year-old man appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on 13th September each charged with one count of blackmail.

"Both have been remanded in custody to reappear at the Old Bailey on 20th December."

The two alleged blackmailers were arrested on September 11 in central London.

Won't be around in 30 years Christine, us peasants have short but happy lives (happy because of the inter-breeding).

Please do not burp near the pigs Christine, it is a mating call....

Feeling very precious about my peasant ancestry Christine......I would hope not to have a drop of blue blood.....lol....

They have just given it out on ITV news and the reporter outside Buckingham Palace......is the person or should I say personage....from Buck House,.....as far as I know there are no minor Royals living there......a few of them have 'grace and favours' in Kensington Palace ....... and we may never know what it is all about because the court case will be kept out of the media spotlight....

Whoever it is must be innocent, or very brave to report it to the Police, even if they are a minor Royal they are still newsworthy....

If they get thrown out of the family, they can always stay with me in the hovel, above the pigs, which keep the place warm in the winter......I am not proud....

sally the peasant

ooooooooo just saw this on the news. My first thought was naughty Harry but clearly not from further info. I reckon it's going to be a really boring one that is only wheeled out for weddings and funerals.

Kem your comment about it being on U tube cracked me up lololololol xx

curtseys, but can't get up because of a bad back.

i am related to the royals

i can say it was not me

only through my hubbys side

but two out the three got their heads chopped off

Prince William is a dead ringer for Prince Edward, when he was the same age.

I remember too Christine, I thought maybe this rumour was just a rehash of the old one....

I also think Fergie got a raw deal, talk about hypocrisy....

Can we watch it on u-tube????

Its not Eddie, he carries out more than 100 public engagements a year.

Philip has more than one "love child" allegedly (3) Lets just say that info was given to me by someone whose family member was in a position to know.

so philip has a heart

well thats what i call a rumour

cause gee he has never showed it

The truth would be far more boring than this thread................that's for sure!! :))))))

Zara Tiara !

Peter Phillips then

Its a minor member of the family who does not carry out any public engagements according to Radio 4. It is also a younger member of the family.

Tell me more bascat, I don't read the papers.
